Just want to point out... that from a completely conservative point of view, having single mothers on welfare is better than the alternatives. One possible alternative is to deny them welfare, thus endangering the health of the children they care for, thus forcing the state to take the children into custody. Financially that puts a burden on the state that now has to employ someone to take care of the children, whereas it was getting that for 'free' via the mother. Also, being a better person should be a moral judgment not a judgement on their financial state.
